Day 11: Photo Doodles
(upbeat music) Hi everyone this is Ryan Putnam with 28 To Make, and right now we're gonna make some photo doodles. They are super fun. What you're gonna need is a photo, I have a digital one here working off my computer, but you could use any analog type of photos, like from a magazine, you know, like, if you have a photo album still you could use that, you know, pull out those old photos. Use some marker, probably just a Sharpie would work best for those analog ones, but I'm working in Photoshop that works pretty well. And with this exercise you're gonna take your photo, and then you're gonna kind of draw on top of it, draw whatever you want to do. Here's an example, the Kraken, coming out of the bay, over the Bay Bridge. This exercise is really fun to add a different type of voice to the photo. The photo I have is very austere, and it's foggy, and it looks very, you know, tempered. Now, I added a Kraken and it's a Kraken over the Bay Bridge. You could do this to other photos, it do...
esn't have to be as detailed as that one. Here's an example of one with my son who is happy looking out this hole in the wall. So just adding some expressive lines actually very much bring out the intensity of his expression. Set against this kind of cement type of wall. And yet again, another example is on a still life where I took my son's chalk, took a picture and then drew over some tree houses over it. So you could use like still lifes, landscapes, photos, you know maybe, whatever kind of photo you want. If you're like a Drake fan, you could draw something over Drake. So these can get really fun. Super excited to see what you guys come up with, When you share it use the hashtag #28toMake. Let's see what you got. (upbeat music)

I just loved the way this was presented and the immediate connection of the videos and their content which helped me discover and try things I would not have thought I could do. The affirmations from others doing the same thing and being able to gather ideas from the 'sharing' bit was also important for me. I have gained a lot creatively and it has fired parts of my imagination that lay hidden. I am just sorry it is formally over. I missed the last x3 sessions and the portfolio bit due to illness but will complete the other tasks and will continue explore developing those that really opened a creative slot for me. Above all thanks to the tutors - each of you - I loved the content you chose and the enthusiasm and creative energy you conveyed in just a few moments and the generous attitude of the skills share. That's it - Thank you, would recommend to anyone not to miss this opportunity.

I was looking for a way to get back into the habit of creating. The class has some fun ideas for projects that are easy to work on, which is super helpful. Every day I was excited to see what my new project was! But...a few seemed to not be what I considered sketching or drawing and didn't seem to fit the description. Overall, very helpful though :)

Best course ever on Creative Live. It's the foundation for doing anything or everything creative. Even if you think your only creative interest is say photography ...and you're not a drawer, maker or artist of any kind ...think again. This course will open up your mind and you will discover that actually you are a creative and you can pick up a pencil and draw... and it doesn't take up much time... 10-20 minutes a day. In the beginning it's not about the end result, it's about the doing and how it sets something off in your brain. It will make a huge difference to everything else you put your hands and mind to in life.
